counterclockwise until it stops. This valve seals
at both the fully open and fully closed positions.
Failure to completely open or close the valve could
result in premature loss of CO2pressure.
• Open the regulator shut-off valve by moving it to
the 6 o’clock position.
• Check gauge pressure. Adjust the regulator
adjustment knob Knob as necessary until the pressure
reads between 12 to 14 psi. You may first need to
loosen set screw located behind knob. After setting
regulator to correct pressure, set screw may be retightened
to lock knob in place.
NOTE: Depending on your choice of beer, you may require a
different keg coupler (7). Check with your local beer
distributor to determine which type of system you need, and
order additional keg couplers as needed.

CO2CANISTER TO CABINET INSTALLATION
• Lift and place the CO2 canister (12) with the CO2 regulator (6) on the shelf at rear right hand
corner of cabinet. It is important that the canister be kept in an upright position to operate
efficiently. Hook one end of retaining strap (3) over metal bracket at rear, then stretch around
canister and hook other end over front bracket.
KEG TO CABINET INSTALLATION
• Place the keg on the support shelf and push
back next to the CO2 canister (12) (See TIPS ON
INSTALLING KEG TO THE CABINET) inside the
cabinet as shown.
WARNING
SAFE KEG HANDLING
• Installing the keg to the cabinet is a two-person team effort. NEVER lift a full keg alone.
Doing so may cause severe injury.
• With the door fully open and the help of another person, lift the keg vertically on both
sides until the keg is higher than the keg support shelf.
• Set the edge of the keg on top of the plastic protective plate located on top of keg
support shelf. Slide the keg back until it is fully inside the cabinet.
• Care must be taken to avoid damage to the temperature control and shelf tower located
in the cabinet.
NOTE: The above illustration does not show the tap installed for clarity of installation.

OPERATING YOUR KEG COOLER
• Make sure that the keg cooler is plugged in properly to a 115V, 60Hz AC only electrical outlet.
• Make sure that the drip tray and sump are secured under the faucet.
• Start with a clean beverage glass that has been wetted in cold water. Place the glass at a 45º
angle, 2.5 cm (1 in.) below the faucet. Do not let the glass touch the faucet. Open the faucet
all the way.
• After the glass has reached half full, gradually bring the glass to an upright position.
• Let the remaining beverage run straight down the middle. This insures proper release of CO2
by producing a 1.9 to 2.5 cm (3/4 to 1 in.) foam head.
• Close the faucet completely and quickly.
DELIVERY HOSE ARRANGEMENT
NOTE: Failure to route hoses properly may cause the hose to become kinked or
caught in door.
NOTE: It is normal to see condensation forming around the faucet. This
condensation is caused by the temperature difference between the cold beverage
and the inner surfaces of the faucet when beverage is being drawn through the line.
10

HOW TO REPLACE AN EMPTY CO2CANISTER
• Remove hoses from routing clips.
• Remove the keg, then remove CO2canister.
• Close the canister valve of the empty canister by turning clockwise until it stops.
• Close the regulator shut-off valve by moving it to the 9 o’clock position.
• Carefully remove regulator from the empty CO2canister by loosening the nut with an
adjustable wrench. Check the condition of the gasket inside the nut and replace if necessary.
• Return canister to your local carbonic gas source for filling. (We suggest looking in your yellow
pages under “Carbonic Gas.” Sources of CO2vary from community to community but it is often
available at welding supply stores and beverage distributors.)
• Remove dust cap from new canister nut, if any.
• With the canister valve still in closed position, reattach the regulator to the new canister using
an adjustable wrench. Ensure the plastic washer is inside of the nut. Tighten nut until it feels
snug but be careful not to overtighten as you will damage the gasket inside the stem nut.
• Check to make sure that the braided gas line hose is still securely attached to the regulator.
• Open the canister valve all the way by turning counter-clockwise until it stops. This valve seals
at both the fully open and fully closed positions. Failure to completely open or close the valve
could result in premature loss of CO2pressure.
• Open the regulator shut-off valve by moving it down to the 6 o’clock position.
• Check gauge pressure. Adjust the regulator adjustment screw as necessary until the pressure
reads between 12 to 14 psi. Tighten the adjustment lock nut.
• Replace keg and route hose clips.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
COOL DOWN PERIOD
For proper operation, allow the unit to operate with the door closed for at least 12 hours before
placing the keg inside.
KEG COOLER CONTROLS
Temperature control
This rotary control is the primary control for the refrigerated compartment temperature. If the
unit is too warm, adjust this control in the “Max” direction. If the unit is too cold, adjust this
control in the “Min” direction.
TEMPERATURE SETTING AND ADJUSTMENT
For beer storage, the recommended initial setting is “Med.” Under most conditions,
this setting will provide for dispensed beer between 1-3 ºC (34-38 ºF) You may adjust as
required to suit your individual taste and the keg cooler operating conditions. After a control
adjustment, always allow 24 hours for the beer to stabilize at the new temperature before
making additional adjustments.
NOTE: When purchasing a beer keg, always purchase a keg cold ( <3 ºC (38 ºF)),
transport as quickly as possible, and get it installed in the cold unit within two (2)
hours. Under most conditions, these guidelines will allow serving of properly
cooled beerwithin 24 hours. Purchasing a keg at a temperature above 3 ºC (38 ºF),
and/or exposure to elevated temperatures longer than two (2) hours will require
additional time for the beer to be cooled to optimum serving temperature.
IMPORTANT: Turning the unit temperature control to “OFF” turns off the
compressor, but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other electrical
components. To turn off power to your unit, you must unplug the power cord from
the wall outlet.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS
VACATION AND MOVING TIPS
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS AND SIGHTS
UNDERSTANDING THE SOUNDS YOU MAY HEAR
Your new, high-efficiency keg cooler may introduce unfamiliar sounds. These sounds normally
indicate your keg cooler is operating correctly. Some surfaces on floors, walls, and kitchen
cabinets may make these sounds more noticeable.
NOTE: Rigid foam insulation is very energy efficient, but is not a sound insulator.
15
• Install the keg cooler in the coolest part of the room, out of direct
sunlight and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the keg
cooler next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven, or
dishwasher.
• Do not overcrowd the keg cooler or block cold air vents. Doing so
causes the keg cooler to run longer and use more energy.
• Organize the keg cooler to reduce door openings. Remove as many
items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
Vacation and Moving Tips
Short Vacations •Leave keg cooler operating during vacations of three (3) weeks or less.
•Use all perishable items from keg cooler compartment.
Long Vacations •Remove all food and ice if you will be gone one month or more.
•Turn controls to the OFF position and disconnect power.
•Clean interior thoroughly.
•Leave door open to prevent odours and mould build-up. Block door open if necessary.
Moving •NEVER MOVE KEG COOLER WITH KEG INSIDE.
•If using handcart, load from side.
•Adjust leveling legs all the way up to protect surface during sliding or moving.
•Pad cabinet to avoid scratching surface.
Following is a list of major components in your keg cooler and the sounds they can cause:
Evaporator Refrigerant through the evaporator may create a boiling or gurgling sound.
Electronic control and automatic defrost control These parts can produce a snapping or
clicking sound when turning the cooling system on and off.
Compressor Modern, high-efficiency compressors run much faster than in the past. The
compressor may have a high-pitched hum or pulsating sound.
Drain pan (not removable) You may hear water dripping into the drain pan during the defrost
cycle.

PROTECTING YOUR INVESTMENT
Keeping your keg cooler clean maintains appearance and prevents odour build-up. Wipe up any
spills immediately and clean the keg cooler at least twice a year. When cleaning, take the
following precautions:
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which
can scratch the appliance surface.
• Do not remove the serial plate.
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, brushes, flammable
fluids, cleaning waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers containing petroleum
products on plastic parts, interior doors, gaskets or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels,
metallic scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials or strong alkaline solutions.
